Roughly 96% of people polled by the Mirror US believe Donald Trump is the "dumbest president ever."

The survey, conducted last week, asked 15,000 people to assess President Trump's decision-making as the crucial 2026 midterm elections approach.

"'Dumb'" is such a polite word," one commented.

"I think it's pretty obvious to anyone with an IQ over 90. Even kids think he's stupid," another joked.

Trump isn't even a dumb person's idea of a smart person.

    Judging by by the proclamations of the maga crowd, he is precisely a dumb person's idea of a smart person.

    Magats don't want a smart person. They want someone just as dumb or even dumber than they are.

    The same goes for his felonies, his child rapes, his failed businesses, and his astounding corruption. They love him because of these things, not despite them. He's is the perfect representative the magat class.

    This makes sense. The president is supposed to be held to a higher standard, on a level of Overton Window reasoning, which is what this demographic mostly operates on, this means that the president is viewed to be objectively at that level by default, regardless of who they are and what they do, the position/system wouldn’t allow otherwise, this allows subjective justification of anything above that line as not only acceptable but superior morality. “If the president can rape kids then I can use the n-word!” Levels of thinking. Him setting the bar at the floor allows some people to think that their bar is really high. Him being the president, with no other factors involved, enables a false sense of morality in a certain demographic of people. He validates them as honorable, and they take that personally.

    God damn it. I was hoping this would have been an actual poll with proper data on who they polled and shit but it was just a fuckass Shitter poll.

    Same here.

    Every poll depends a lot on the phrasing of the question. The question:

    xhitter poll

    As far as journalistic integrity goes, the title should've been "...people agree he is the dumbest..." and not believe.

    OTOH, glad to see there's still some normal human beings on Xhitter.

    Also, what a horrible outlet.

    Hm. I‘m curious who was polled. I‘m surprised there isn‘t the usual ~30% boot licking fascist bracket.

    Lincoln and JFK were smarter presidents even post-gunshot. Trump out-dumbs half a plate of cold scrambled eggs.

    I wish this was the result of a random sampling of your population, but it's not. It's meaningless.

    I want to talk about polls I think this is partially how they are rigging elections...

    I got a texas based like survey and I was just, why not..

    Literally when I would say i would support the other candidate other than the republican it would go into crazy talking points about Trans rights and stuff and give me an option to change my vote.

    How is this not illegal?

    I really enjoy those surveys because there's usually a fill in part at some point and I use then to express the most blasphemous opinions possible. When one survey was trying to gauge at what point abortion should be legal, I wrote in that if it's still attached to me by umbilical cord I get to crush its skull between my thighs as a conservative limit.

    Ok? So what? American liberals need to stop obsessing about the specific deficiencies of the individual of Donald Trump and actually care about terrible policy regardless of the character of the person espousing it.

    I think the apt answer is: "is he making decisions that actually make the US better?" He has made billions. He has hugely benefited his personal allies, allies that are not your allies. He did every shady thing he could do right in front of the entire population and still nothing has been done to really stop him. He gave a friend of his millions to clean a pool and they clearly were just stealing mob style and that was what we saw in plain view.
